مولانا مفتی عمیم الاحسان صاحب مجددی برکتی
ڈھاکے ایک خط سے ابھی چند روز ہوئے یہ معلوم کرکے بے حد افسوس ہواکہ مولانا مفتی سید عمیم الاحسان صاحب مجددی برکتی داعی اجل کولبیک کہہ کراس خاکدان عالم سے رخصت ہوگئے۔ مولانا اپنے زمانے کے بلندپایہ اور وسیع النظر ومحقق عالم تھے۔ فقہ وحدیث آپ کے خاص فن تھے جن میں بڑی گہری نظر رکھتے تھے۔درس کے علاوہ افتا اورتصنیف وتالیف کابھی مشغلہ تھااور اسی سلسلے میں متعدد اہم کتابیں آپ کے قلم کی مرہون رقم ہیں۔ علاوہ ازیں نہایت متقی، متورع اورصاحب باطن بھی تھے۔زندگی کاایک بڑاحصہ کلکتہ میں بسر ہوا۔تقسیم کے بعد ڈھاکہ چلے گئے اوروہاں کے مدرسۂ عالیہ میں پروفیسر حدیث وفقہ ہوگئے تھے۔ ڈھاکہ میں عید کی نماز مولانا نے ہی پڑھائی تھی۔اس کے بعد طبیعت خراب ہوگئی جس کاسلسلہ دس روز تک چلتارہا یہاں تک کہ ۲۷/اکتوبر کوساڑھے چاربجے صبح طائر روح قفس عنصری سے پرواز کرگیا۔ ناظم ندوۃ المصنفین اورایڈیٹر برہان سے بڑی محبت کرتے اورخلوص رکھتے تھے اس لیے ہم لوگوں کے لیے یہ ذاتی حادثہ بھی ہے۔اﷲ تعالیٰ انھیں کروٹ کروٹ جنت عطاکرے اوران کے مدراج ومراتب بڑھائے۔آمین ثم آمین [نومبر۱۹۷۴ء]
There are two main sources of Islam, one is the Book of Allah and the other is the Sunnah and Sira of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Qur'an is the final collection of 23 years of divine revelation revealed to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) whose literal and spiritual preservation was undertaken by Allah Almighty Himself. Therefore, the Qur'an is the only book in the world which has one letter, one action and one line in its original state just as it was revealed to the pure heart of the Holy Prophet (sws) and the Holy Prophet (sws). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told the Sahaabah. That is why the greatest truth of Islam, the book is the living Qur'an. The second major basis of the reality of Islam is the pure Sira and Sunnah of the Prophet of Humanity, the Servant of the Universe. Like the Qur'an al-Hakim, every moment, every day and every angle of the life of the author of the Qur'an is in front of everyone like an open book with all its mysteries. Even in front of one's own and in front of others. A da’if hadith is a hadith which does not fulfil the conditions of the sahih or hassan hadith.
Ruling: There is a difference of opinion between the ‘ulema on the ruling on acting upon weak hadiths. The reliable opinion is that weak hadiths can be acted upon for virtuous supererogatory deeds (fada’il al a’mal), for religious exhortation, and stories, and similar things that are not connected to legal rulings and tenants of belief.

The crude methanolic extract of Thymus linearis and its fractions were analyzed for their antibacterial and antifungal activities. They exhibited significant antibacterial activity against MDR bacterial strains. The maximum effect was shown by butanolic fraction against S.aureus, K. pneumoniae and Providencia species. The crude methanolic extract and other fractions exhibited low to moderate antibacterial activity. Similarly crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were analyzed for antifungal activity. The crude extract showed good activity against Rhizopus (14mm), Penicillium chrysogenum (10mm) and Aspergillus fumigates (10mm) respectively, while chloroform fraction showed no effect against Rhizopus. The n-hexane fraction showed low to moderate activity against Penicillium chrysogenum. The crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were analyzed for their phytotoxic effect. The phytotoxicity of butanolic fraction was significant, while moderate activity shown by crude methanolic extract, ethyl acetate and chloroform fractions of T. linearis. In in-vitro contact bioassay the n-hexane and butanolic fraction exhibited significant activity resulting 60% mortality of T. casteneum while methanolic fraction exhibited about 40% and 30% mortality of T. casteneum and C.analis respectively. The anthelmintic effect of crude methanolic extract and its solvent fractions showed significant results. The n-hexane and ethyl acetate fraction showed more significant anthelmintic activity, while methanol, chloroform and butanol fractions showed mild to moderate activity against Pheretima posthumas. The crude methanolic extract and its various fractions exhibited a concentration dependent antioxidant effect. The crude extract possessed similar antioxidant effect to that of ascorbic acid, while the antioxidant potential of n-hexane, butanol and chloroform were comparable to that of Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The ethyl acetate fraction showed lowest antioxidant activity. In in-vivo biological activities the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions were being very safe in acute toxicity assay. In analgesic activity the Thymus linearis methanolic extract (TLME) exhibited a dose dependent antinociceptive effect in both peripheral and central analgesic models. Similarly antipyretic effect of TLME was increased as the dose increased from 100 to 300mg/kg. The TLME showed significant antipyretic effect from 2nd hr up to 4th hr of experiment. The TLME, at the dose of 300mg/kg exhibited significant anti-inflammatory response 2hr after the carrageenan injection and sustained throughout the experiment. In nephro and hepato protective activity, the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions showed significant results, and n-butanol, chloroform and crude extract were more nephro and hepato protective while ethyl acetate fraction showed mild nephro and hepato protective activity. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was done of crude methanolic extract and its various solvent fractions which suggested the presence of different new compounds like amides, aldehydes, carboxylic acid, ethers, alcohols and ketones etc, majority of which are not reported formally. Fixed oils were obtained from n-hexane sub-fraction and GC/MS of fixed oils showed presence of important fatty oils which are biologically active. The ethyl acetate and chloroform fraction were subjected to column chromatography (CC) which resulted into the isolation of six pure compounds. The structure elucidation of pure compounds was done using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, COSY, NOSY, HMQC, HMBC, UV, IR, EI-MS and HREI-MS. All the compounds were isolated from T. linearis for the first time but they were reported from other sources as well. These compounds were β-Sitosterol, Ursolic acid, 3, 4, 5- Trihydroxybenzoic acid, Oleanolic acid, Benzoic acid and Betulinic acid. The in-vivo and in-vitro biological activities were corresponding with these isolated pure compounds. The antipyretic, antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activity of β- sitosterol, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid has already been recorded. The antioxidant and antitumor activity of ursolic acid and betulinic acid has also been reported as well. This research activity significantly supported ethnobotanical uses of T. linearis whole plant as a traditional medicine for treatment. In spite of all this further thorough research work on the crude methanolic extract and its various fractions for isolation of secondary metabolites is required. Furthermore research activities on isolated compounds may give directions for potential therapeutic agent for management of different disease.
